It started great, but then the author decided to make it about friendship instead of romance (nothing wrong with it per se) and the manga began denying all previous chapters (in my opinion) while also losing it's sense of direction/soul/whatever you want to call it.

Great story, character development, and the like. While I wish it had more of a romance aspect, the author still did a great job with closing everything off
(also kaede is definetly one of my most favorite support characters in yuri manga)

I hate to be a homewrecker but... I'll have to drop this. :notlikethis: it's uhmm I guess.. not gay enough? not that it's a bad story, it's good! But it seems to lack what I had most expected from it, which is, yuri. I just wonder why the author decided to go the non-yuri route, All those moments of the short-haired girl simping on the long-haired girl seem a bit pointless now... But yeah, I think salamanders are cool! :thumbsup:
(I read till chapter 34 btw.)

Felt really weird that the author decided against formalising the story as yuri, I enjoyed it but at the same time I feel like the impact of it not being fully yuri by the end weakened it a lot, especially considering a lot of the earlier chapters and the obvious connotations behind the whole frog and salamander metaphor that was constant throughout the story.

screaming and crying and dying i love this series to bits. This is ABSOLUTELY yuri as well by the way even if they didnt end up kissing or anything like that it doesnt make it any less yuri

I really loved this series and think so much of it is amazing both with the actual art and the storytelling but this ending is disappointing. All though out the volumes it felt better clear that the whole salamander and frog analogy was about how they both felt like they needed each other by their sides forever and with all the gay panic that happens in the earlier volumes, koyuki not being able to stop thinking about Konatsu, getting red when seeing her, and Konatsu is the same way. It just felt really clear that they were in love with one another even without saying it directly. This ending just feels hollow because of that, I still love the idea and theme about loneliness and letting those around you know how much they matter to you but having Koyuki and Konatsu ending as just besties feels like we are ignoring both of their deeper emotions. I'd recommend this as a coming of age manga or something but personally I don't think I'm gonna reread this.

I would've definitely loved a kiss scene, but I'm extremely happy with what we got :]
